“The letter was being handed around the office and the unspoken threat was that if your name was not on it, there would be some repercussion down the road.”

Translation: (We) females were harassed into signing Uncle Tom Brokaw’s agreement, which, if we did not, we would get dirty looks by management, and or colleagues.

Solution: If you don’t want to sign the agreement, then fine, quit your job, quit the business, too, and then, go and write a tell all book when you’re 100 years old ! Men are getting f*cking pissed off with this type of witchhunt !
